July/August 2002, D1X, Editor's Choice Award
Raw power, Raw speed. They’re always impressive, but only sophisticated control can make them work fully for you. And that’s precisely the formula of the Nikon D1x: power, as in a 5.47 effective megapixel CCD, capable, through interpolation, of producing a 16-bit, 34.4-megabyte TIFF file. Speed, as 3 fps capture up to nine images in a burst, plus image and data transfer by IEEE-1394 (Firewire) interface. Control, via camera operation consistent with that of the Nikon F5 and F100 35mm models and capture software designed to optimize color reproduction, color balance and exposure management. (The D1x supports sRGB and Adobe RGB color space.) Evolving from the industry-leading Nikon D1 digital SLR, the D1x is designed specifically for professionals who require high image quality for pre-press, advertising, graphic arts, scientific and commercial photography. Without compromise.
